The study was conducted in five villages of Nabinagar upazila under Brahmanbaria district. The populations of rural women in homestead vegetable cultivation in these villages were 594, from which 120 samples were selected proportionally. An interview schedule was used for data collection. The data were collected during 18th July, 2014 to 25th August, 2014. Appropriate scales were developed in order to measure the variables. Majority (62.5%) of the respondent had medium participation in winter homestead vegetable cultivation as compared to 30 percent low participation and 7.5 percent high participation. The highest proportion (73.3%) of the respondent had medium participation in summer homestead vegetable cultivation as compared to 22.5 percent low participation and 4.2 percent high participation. The highest proportion (52.5%) of the respondent had medium participation in homestead vegetable cultivation as compared to 36.7 percent low participation and 10.8 percent high participation. Correlation analysis indicated that five out of eleven independent variable namely farm size, extension contact, agricultural training, decision making role and innovativeness had significant positive relationship with their homestead vegetable cultivation.

Erosion The Meghna river banks suffer from erosion problems annually, mostly in the monsoon and post monsoon periods. As the transmission line will not have any impact on erosion, a further detailed analysis of erosion was not required for the project. Flooding Flooding situation of the study area is very nominal. The local people informed that, only the historical flash flood occurred in the year of 1988, 1998 and 2004. Flooding of 1988 and 1998 severely affected almost the entire study area. The duration of 1988 and 1998 flood was around 1-1.5 months with flood level of 6-7 ft.

  • Enabling Conflict Resolution for Better Fisheries Management: Experience from the Inland Fisheries of Bangladesh
    NATURAL RESOURCES SYSTEMS PROGRAMME PROJECT REPORT DFID Project Number R8294 Project Title Enabling conflict resolution for better fisheries management: Experience from the inland fisheries of Bangladesh. Annex 7:3 of the Final Technical Report of project R8294. Report Authors Khondker, M.J. and Hossain, A. Organisation WorldFish Center Date 2005 NRSP Production System Land Water Interface Annex 7.3 Enabling Conflict Resolution for Better Fisheries Management: Experience from the Inland Fisheries of Bangladesh Khondker Murshed –e- Jahan and Arif Hossain WorldFish Center- Bangladesh and South Asia Abstract Increasing population, ineffective management, competition between gears over resource access, and proliferation of destructive fishing practices are not only putting severe stress on aquatic resources of Bangladesh, but are also threatening the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on fisheries. Although it is widely reported that conflict is endemic in the fisheries of Bangladesh, there are very few studies that analysed those conflicts and how these conflicts could be solved. This study aimed to identify such conflicts and to design a strategy to resolve conflicts in two Community-Based Fisheries Management-2 (CBFM-2) Waterbodies, namely the Titas Cluster and Beel Shapla in Brahamanbaria district of Bangladesh. A generic communication planning matrix was made from consultations with key informants and stakeholders. Using participatory approaches applied in fisheries management, country-specific communication planning matrices evolved from the generic model during country workshops participated by primary stakeholders— fishermen, fishing group leaders and community leaders—together with potential conflict managers, such as the police, government officers, academics, researchers and policy-makers. The process shows the significance of a communication strategy for conflict identification and resolution.

  • Floods Engulf Low Villages of Several Districts
    Network for Information, Response And Preparedness Activities on Disaster (NIRAPAD) Bangladesh Flood 2007 SitRep No. 07 Dhaka, 22 July 2007 (www.nirapad.org) FLOODS ENGULF LOW VILLAGES OF SEVERAL DISTRICTS General Situation: Thousands of people living in the low-lying areas of at least 13 districts of the country have become stranded due to incessant rainfall since the last few days and on rush of water from upstream. Flood situation may aggravate further if the heavy downpour continues in and outside country. The Surma at Kanaighat and Sunamganj the Someshwari at Durgapur, the Gumti at Comilla and Debidwar, the Muhuri at Parshuram and Khowai at Hobiganj are flowing above respective danger levels this morning. Most of the rivers in all the basins except the south eastern hill basin observed rise. The districts that experiencing floods and/or water logging are; Nilphamari Lalmonirhat, Rangpur, Gaibandha, Bogra, Sirajganj, Meherpur, Patuakhali, Feni, Comilla, Cox’sbazar, Bandarban, Khagrachhari, etc Our members from different districts informed that the water levels of the rivers are on rise and low lying areas are reeling under the rain-fed flood waters. As a result of the incessant rains and onrush, standing crops specifically seasonal vegetables and seed-bed of T-Aman damaged badly, and livelihoods of day-laborers hampered much. District-wise situation: Feni: Porsuram and Fulgazi upazilas are most affected areas by flood in Feni districts. About 30,000 people are marooned due to cracks at least 23 points on the embankment of the rivers. Both upazilas remained disconnected from the district headquarters as all the roads are submerged and hundred of people are marooned.

  • Inventory of LGED Road Network, March 2005, Bangladesh
    The Chief Engineer Local Government Engineering Department PREFACE It is a matter of satisfaction that LGED Road Database has been published through compilation of data that represent all relevant information of rural road network of the country in a structured manner. The Rural Infrastructure Maintenance Management Unit of LGED (former Rural Infrastructure Maintenance Cell) took up the initiative to create a road inventory database in mid nineties to register all of its road assets country-wide with the help of customized software called, Road and Structure Database Management System. The said database was designed to accommodate all relevant information on the road network sequentially and the system was upgraded from time to time to cater the growing needs. In general, the purpose of this database is to use it in planning and management of LGED's rural road network by providing detailed information on roads and structures. In particular, from maintenance point of view this helps to draw up comprehensive maintenance program including rational allocation of fund based on various parameters and physical condition of the road network. According to recent road re-classification, LGED is responsible for construction, development and maintenance of three classes of roads, which has been named as Upazila Road, Union Road and Village Road (category A & B) in association with Local Government Institution. The basic information about these roads like, road name, road type, length, surface type, condition, structure number with span, existing gaps with length, etc. has been made available in the road inventory. Side by side, corresponding spatial data are also provided in the road map comprising this document.
